[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] Pondering selling one of the bikes and having a car to go to work in the winter. After 10 years riding in the icy cold (and snow) during winter, I think I deserve a heater and stereo. Im looking at cheap cars, I think i'd get about £2k for the Bandit, so say max of £2500 ish really. Now im pondering cheap to run cars, and it seems its actually quite hard to find a clear cut cheap car. A tiny engine needs more revving, which uses more fuel, so is it better to get a 1.3/1.4, or stick to a gutless 1.0 (or below)... I pondered a Smart Car. Gay, small, fannymobiles, but claims of 60+mpg, and the fact I could also keep it in the garage along with the other car, and my other bike. But heard some bad stories about servicing and reliabilty (well it IS a Merc after all :lol: ). So really, whats about? I can't stand 106's and such, and I really hate the whiney 1.2 engines in corsas. Toyota Gaygos? Shall I get a Gee Wiz :lol: (NO!!). Finding a cheap car, thats not epically gay, reliable, and cheap to run isn't all that easy? That leads me to think, really, what is the best cheap reliable car out there anyway? Bandit only returns 40-50mpg, service every 4k, tyres every 3-4k, jackets, waterproofs, new helmets, boots etc, it all starts to add up. The way I see it, i could have a car, and use my nice bike for nice days to work, and only need to buy nice bike gear instead of gear I actually really need (I.E new leather jacket over new textile waterproof jacket). Hit me with some ideas to ponder. PS, I don't really like most french cars, and the ones I do like arn't what I need (Clio Sports, Megan Sports etc :lol: ) [/quote]
